Delightfully prescient and sharply funny, Jonathan Spector’s 2025 Tony Award-winning Eureka Day comes to the City Stage in September! In this “…sharp satire of well-meaning but misguided liberalism” (New York Theatre Guide) a mumps outbreak has put the Board of Directors of the Eureka Day School on their backfoot, forced to reexamine their vaccination policy. Until now they have only made decisions through consensus, not majority, but now they must decide: is it possible to make a decision about vaccinations that will please everyone? “Eureka Day was already timely when it made its local debut off-Broadway in 2019. It is even more so now.” (Time Out New York)
Jonathan Spector’s writing is some of the finest satire for the stage in a long time, and Eureka Day will have audiences crying with laughter in equal measure with questioning their own biases. “With the combination of wicked banter and ultimate good will that Eureka Day has to offer, you’d be well-advised to ‘take the jab.’” (Variety)
